Solvent‐Free Synthesis of Core ... Wiley Online Library
The solventfree synthesis of corefunctionalised naphthalene diimide (cNDI) residues in a vibratory ball mill is reported. Twentyone naphthalene diimidebased products were produced by using Suzuki, Sonogashira and BuchwaldHartwig palladium coupling reactions, including dimeric diimide products that are constituents in functioning organic photovoltaic solar cells.
